Gently used, authentic Italian design, volcanic rock-based, outdoor pizza oven. This oven makes cooking a pleasure and creates a novel way to socialize with friends and family by allowing everyone to participate. It takes the hassle out of cleaning up afterward. Not limited to baking pizza's only -- bread, roasts, vegetables, chicken and fish can be cooked to perfection! Wood and/or propane gas fired.Due to the high thermal properties of the material used, the heat is largely dissipated, thus preventing the exterior surfaces from reaching high temperatures.• Color :Terracota. Can be painted any color using PVA-based coatings• Dimensions:o Base :32" (W) x 36" (L)o Oven opening :14" (W) x 10" (H)o Overall height :30" (H)o Weight :~350 lbs

Please note: A light crack exists between the pizza oven and the base. This can be sealed using high temperature silicon sealant or Rutland Pre-Mixed Chimney Sweep High-Temp Furnace Cement. Photographs and/or viewing upon request. The oven is crated and ready for shipment.New pizza ovens of similar design, materials and construction sell for >$2,000.00.

1. As Bob mentioned, dome height is a concern, although some of the photos show domes that aren't as high as others.

2. Chimney placement. Unless the oven is huge and you can put the chimney far away from the fire, the chimney should never be in the main chamber.

Due to the high thermal properties of the material used, the heat is largely dissipated, thus preventing the exterior surfaces from reaching high temperatures.

Since I'm not seeing any seams, and even if there were, this oven doesn't appear thick enough (or heavy enough) to combine materials, I think it's safe to assume this oven is all one material. The reference to volcanic rock and cool-ish to the touch claims scream either perlcrete, vermicrete or some kind of equivalent.

Ask any knowledgeble oven person- you can't make an oven out of only insulating material. Without thermal mass to capture and store the heat, you don't get the thermodynamics of a wood fired oven.
